(Necessity of providing) the motivation to keep tasks on track, especially regarding short-term memory loss:

• Managing a schedule requires writing every task down at the very first moment; if the tasks are not marked, a service cannot fundamentally function
• Providing a motivation to use a service is vital—try to foster simple, easy characteristic
• Other than simple UXUI, assistive devices that help users access a service (anytime they need it) are also necessary
  • As the service motivates me to write tasks with its function (which forms satisfaction, using colors or interactions), I have no emotional difficulty using it whenever I need it.

Trello/Notion

Having a hard time distributing work and creating milestones:

• Works without an exact timeline may stress patients, as the amount does not seem manageable
• (p.n.) I use the service to divide tasks into specific steps, which makes me feel motivated to finish the work; it provides a clear vision of work distribution and suggests the possibility that I could finish it
  • Dividing works and showing timelines are crucial

Documenting related information in a constrained place to prevent scattered information:

• Collecting and organizing related tasks in one place is significant, as it is hard to collect information
• Organizing algorithm (e.g. tag system) that automatically collects similar tasks into corresponding groups

Hand-written diary

Dealing with several works (ideas) at once:

• Sometimes tasks simultaneously and spontaneously occur:
  • (p.n.) I write every task on the note without specific forms
  • Each task can be described in the most efficient layout, as there are no constraints to express/organize descriptions. ⇒ (p.n.) I use notes to directly draw what I exactly think, even more than two ideas at the same time
    • Need to consider if it is an opportunity for patients, though
• However, overwhelming freedom may make me nervous to start
